Bindweed, including field and hedge bindweed, is a tough, invasive weed with deep roots and twining stems that outcompetes plants in gardens and farms.
Bindweed, a persistent perennial, thrives in varied conditions. It grows deep roots, twines around plants, and produces white trumpet flowers.
Early signs of bindweed include distinctive arrowhead-shaped leaves. Hedge bindweed has larger, heart-shaped leaves that twist around plants and structures.
Bindweed's large white trumpet flowers, resembling morning glories, are visually appealing but highly invasive, rapidly overtaking lawns and gardens.
